I think you've got that backwards. Redknapp's a better manager than the QPR job. If he has to squeeze his way in there then he tells them where to shove the job.

I think he didn't really want the QPR job. He definitely didn't like the idea of the Ukraine national team. But he wants to be managing. So two luke warm options that he really didn't want to take. The Chelsea job is coming up. He wets his pants every night over that.

But Chelsea don't want him, they opt for that *** ****** ** ******* **** Rafa Benitez and he's forced into a decision. QPR say, "Hurry up and come here, or we just give Di Matteo a chance to prove Roman wrong." So Redknapp pretends to cancel his flight to Kiev and agrees to take over at QPR.

Not sure what you mean? Don't think we done much wrong today, hit the bar, half a yard (at best) offside for a goal and I thought we were the better side (not by much) today.

Roddy, I know you commented on the West Ham-Stoke game, saying (quite rightly) how poor a match it was, but today's Liverpool-Swansea game was no more entertaining, simply because both sides were so toothless.

It goes some way to prove that passing the ball about in little triangles is just as dull as hoofing the ball about, if the sides doing it are lacking in quality in attack.

I respect both teams wanting to stick to a 'passing' philosophy, but today was proof that not everybody is going to look like Barcalona doing it.






And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Indeed, I don't think Barcalona exist.

It's a matter of preference, but I'd sooner watch two sides trying to outplay each other, than play like Everton and pump the ball in the box from every set piece relentlessly. Today I felt like both sides actually defended really well, we probably should have scored a couple of goals but the defence seemed to win. Liverpool are obviously toothless, our lack of firepower has lead to us being reliant on two teenagers and Suarez to provide the firepower, but I'd sooner watch today's game against Swansea for 24 hours straight than watch Stoke or West Ham play.

I'd sooner watch this season's Everton than any Liverpool side of the last 15 years.

Again, it's preference, but you're an idiot if you'd rather watch the sh(te served up at Goodison over the side that beat Madrid 4-0 and United 4-1, we played some stupendous football that season.

that's the basic problem with LFC - they really believe they are still a major force in european football, well those days are long gone at least for the moment and have been for many years

fortress Anfield is no more just like it was fortress Molyneux in the early 60s or fortress Elland Road in the 60s/70s - the mighty have fallen but will hopefully get back to where they belong

teams receiving LFC for their home games were in awe of such a dominant football force coming to town whereas nowadays and for a while the thought of LFC visiting now means a real chance of picking up 3 points rather than maybe scraping a home draw against the mighty Reds

I actually enjoyed the game against The Swans, very even to the neutral I think and certainly more entertaining than the Cheslsea - Citeh cr@p or the Villa - Gooners trash served in the other televised games

you talk about 'that season' - that's the problem you lot are living on past glories and not spending enough time worrying about NOW - no team has the divine rright to glory, it has to be earned and this current LFC crop is ordinary if you take out Suarez, Gerrard & Reina - you lot deserve better

He was replying to carl_spackler who stated he would rather watch Everton than any Liverpool side from the last 15 years.

Roddy just pointed out that when we beat Madrid and United by the stated scorelines Liverpool where playing football Everton fans could only dream of ;)
